I really enjoyed my stay here. All the staff I spoke to were helpful and friendly. The room was basic but clean and comfortable (we had one of the refurbished rooms). The food was great, I was pleasantly surprised after reading other reviews. It's a small hotel so there isn't the same amount of choice as some of the bigger all inclusives I've been to, but that's to be expected. But there was never the same evening meal twice, it was a different theme each day. I really don't understand some of the comments left by others about the food, especially for the price. It's a budget hotel and the food, service and room exceeded our expectations.

Staff are all very friendly and welcoming. Rules a strict for not reserving sun beds, if you do then the security will remove your belongings if left unattended, whilst I understand this rule I wonder how it works if you're a single traveler as they look for unattended belongings which obviously there would be if you went to the bar, loo or popped to reception. We popped towels down then decided to just pop to reception quickly to ask a question we were gone for no longer than 10minutes and came back to find security had scooped up our belongings and removed them from the pool side.
Food here is not great, we are all inclusive and have popped into the restaurant each day to check out the offerings, it's very basic and canteen style food and just wasn't for us so we opted to go out for food instead as there are so many reasonably priced places around. In my opinion the canteen here is good for a back up and would suffice but it's nothing special so to speak. It is what it is I guess.
Location is great, a short walk from everything you need lovely beach just 10mins walk lots of bars and restaurants on the way, a supermarket a few minutes walk away too.
Rooms are basic but clean, tidy and spacious. No air con but fan provided. No hair dryer in room but you can hire for a 20euro deposit at reception.

We've just stayed here for a week & found the rooms to be extremely uncomfortable with a lot of issues. The pool area is nice, but the beds are so hard that we barely slept all week. Lack of air con also made it very hot & humid. They just need to update the rooms, improve the quality of the food (much of it was undercooked) and it would be much better.

Just returned home after 10 days here. I have read the reviews and some of them are, frankly laughable.
This place is absolutely fine. Yes it’s a little dated and a bit simplistic but we were there as a group of 21, 6 different families, with age ranges from 5 to 70, and all of us have had a great time. The pool is excellent, a really good size, and was never overcrowded. The only issue with the pool is the number of sun beds, there aren’t enough of them, pretty much every day of our holiday there were people not able to get beds and were sat on the chairs and tables around the bar, which aren’t at all uncomfortable but it’s not the same as lying on a sun bed.
The rooms are a little dated and can get warm, there are fans provided in every bedroom, which we kept on pretty much all of the time, upgrading to air conditioning would be a huge improvement but it would be a huge cost.
The food was fine, if not spectacular, plenty of choices for everyone, even the fussy eaters. It was all fresh, and hot.
There was a wide range of drinks for everyone.
The staff were always more than helpful, always with a smile on their face and nothing is too much trouble. Whilst we were there, we had 3 wedding anniversary’s as well as a 70th birthday and the staff made sure that the people celebrating were well looked after. Miguel tries his hardest to keep people entertained during the day, with the limited things he has at his disposal. The evening entertainment isn’t the best but I think it sums the hotel up perfectly, if you’re prepared to relax and have a laugh it is absolutely fine, they aren’t going to win Spain’s got talent but in the same breath you aren’t covering your ears as they sound terrible.
All in all, the 21 of us had a great time, and relaxed for a wonderful holiday. The other guests were also friendly and chatty apart from one girl who decided that after a few drinks wanted to fight another girl but was extremely sheepish for the next few days, and was only seen around meal times to get something to eat.
Would recommend this hotel as a budget and family friendly holiday, if someone told me we were going again next year I wouldn’t have an issue at all.
Thank you to the entire hotel team for our holiday, I’m sure you know who we are, as I’m not sure you get many groups of 21 staying together!

We have just got home from a great holiday together as a couple and a lovely stay at Smy Tahona. I have got to say, the reviews worried me before we arrived and I wasn't sure what to expect but we were blown away with a huge room, newly renovated and absolutely sparkling clean. The room was cleaned almost every single day with new towels and toilet roll provided. There was a lovely view of the sea from our room too. The pool area was perfect and good size pool, always a sunbed spare too. The food was so good, there was always loads of variety and something for all, snacks throughout the day at the pool side and lots on offer to drink. The entertainment could have been a bit better but it was still fun. The staff were always friendly and happy to help. The location is perfect for everything and a very short walk to the shops and beach. There are roadworks going on outside the hotel currently but it didn't effect our stay at all and the hotel is lovely and quiet. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would recommend this hotel to anyone if they are looking for a reasonably priced but great holiday. Thank you to everyone at the hotel.
